I did read. I still prefer assuming 100% health rather than significantly less health for spirits within. But that's beside the point.

You are wrong on Fight or Flight. It has a 33% uptime, not 16.667. http://xivdb.com/?skill/20/Fight-or-Flight

And second, you do have to normalize for sword oath. Sword oath adds a 50 potency hit on auto attack. Auto attacks happen more often than once every 2.5 seconds for a PLD. With Curtana (one of their slowest weapons) it's once every 2.32 seconds, which puts sword oath at ~54 potency every 2.5 seconds. You've normalized the auto attack contribution to 2.5 seconds, but you didn't normalize sword oath.

Auto Attack potency is (Delay / 3)*100. Sword oath will add 50 to that number, but that number will not always be 83.333 for a PLD.

Sword oath absolutely provides more for a fast weapon than a slow weapon.
